Chapter 3: A Moment of Déjà vu

"When I was fifteen years old, I met a mountain king in the mountains, and he twisted his head in a fierce fight, and when I heard the click, I felt that the scene had happened before, it was almost the same scene, but I thought about it for a long time but I couldn't remember when it was. In the years that followed, I killed dozens of evil lords one after another, and every time I broke their necks, I felt that strong feeling but couldn't find the root cause, brother, do you know what the reason is? ”

The beast's bound hooves had been untied, and at this moment it was meekly lying on the ground, Li Er was sitting on it, and Li Hou was looking distressed, walking back and forth in front.

"Brother, don't worry, I've heard what you said." Lear smiled.

"What does my brother think? I'd really like to find out. Li Hou's eyes suddenly bloomed with anticipation.

"Although I have dabbled in a lot of miscellaneous studies, I actually have doubts about this, and if I have to explain it, then it can be boiled down to the following." Li Er pondered for a moment and whispered, "There are things that are mixed, and they are born from nature." Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. ”

"Dao?" Li Hou was puzzled.

"This is just my statement, you can understand it as a kind of cycle, Tao, just the way or carrier of the cycle, I don't know how it works, but the cycle of heaven and earth has its own reason, maybe a certain part of those scenes is what really happened." Li Er smiled indifferently.

"But since I was born, I haven't killed the Mountain Monarch before the age of sixteen, and I've never even killed a life!" Li Hou was a little confused.

"What is life? What is death? That's just part of the cycle......" Li Er looked at Li Hou who was scratching his ears and cheeks with deep meaning.

"Raw...... Dead ......," Li Hou muttered.

"I have heard that there is a clan in ancient times who liked to look at the moon, among which the psychic can wake up the previous life, which is mysterious and indescribable......" Li Er's eyes also had Shenhua turning.

"Brother is saying, maybe I really experienced it?" Li Hou was extremely brave in the face of Shanjun, but now when he talks about this, he looks ignorant.

"I don't dare to assert this brother, but before thinking about this question, you need to think about it, who are you? Are you you? Are you really just you? The more Li Er said, the more mysterious it became.

"Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things......" Li Er's voice exploded in Li Hou's heart, and at this moment, he seemed to have suddenly been lit up something, vague......

I don't know how long it has been, the sky has become dark, and the mountain wind is blowing, with a chilling feeling.

Li Er sat on the beast like this, quietly looking at Li Hou like a sculpture.

"A moment of déjà vu ......" Li Er muttered to himself, looking up at the bright moon with a quiet and glorious glow, and his face also showed a trace of yearning.

"A moment of déjà vu ......" Li Er's whisper was heard by Li Hou, who was standing, and couldn't help but follow along.

"Brother, you're awake, what do you catch?" Li Er turned his head to look at Li Hou.

"I don't understand, but I seem to understand something." Li Hou shook his head, "Forget it, let's go!" Where is my brother going? ”

"Chen Guo, my hometown."

"Then I'll escort my brother for a ride!"

"Okay, there are fierce beasts in the wilderness, and I really don't dare to go forward alone, so there is Brother Lao!" Lear laughed to himself.

"Big stupid cow, let's go!" Li Hou raised his foot and kicked away the body of the mountain monarch, and reached out to pat the sturdy body of the beast.

"By the way, brother, it is said that the Yang of the Mountain Monarch is a good thing, isn't that a waste......" Li Er suddenly turned around, revealing a trace of reluctance.

"Uh...... Brother, this is a mother's ......" Li Hou looked at Li Er in disbelief, such a famous wise man couldn't tell the father and mother of the Mountain King?

"Huh? Let's go......" Li Er's face blushed slightly.

Moo......

The beast raised its hooves and rushed out in an instant, its speed faster than that of a galloping horse, while Li Er's ride was unusually smooth and unusually stable, like a soft sleeper.

"Sure enough, the beast!" Li Er was amazed, for Li Hou who was running like the wind on the side, he was even more amazed, the speed of the beast was already extremely fast, but Li Hou was not left behind in the slightest by the wind under his feet, and he kept talking and laughing with him.

Under the cold moonlight, the two men and one beast quickly disappeared between the narrow mountain roads.

The wolf howls rang out from time to time along the way, but the beast mooed and roared a few times, and there was only silence left in the four fields.

……

Two days later, in the territory of Chen Guo, next to the official road.

"You and my brother hit it off at first sight, I really can't bear to be separated from my brother! My brother is so good, in fact, he can also follow me into the week, and there will be great hope for the future Denghou worship! Li Er spoke with sincere reluctance.

"I understand my brother's kindness, but I still want to solve the mystery in my heart. The day before yesterday, I got my brother's teachings, I always felt that I had caught something, if I could get what I wanted, I would definitely go to Da Zhou to find my brother in the future! Li Hou bowed deeply to Li Er.

"Good brother, then I will wait for you in Da Zhou!" Li Er knew that he couldn't be reluctant, so he had to say goodbye to Li Houyi.

"Big stupid cow, you will follow your brother in the future, but you have to protect him, and you can't let people bully your brother, otherwise I will definitely not be able to spare you in the future!" Li Hou laughed, "Take care, brother!" ”

With that, he turned and galloped away.

"See you Da Zhou!" Li Er shouted with reluctance.

Moo......

The beast roared, and also turned and stepped on its hooves, carrying Li Er away.

……

Tarzan.

The clouds cover the fog, and the beasts roar and cry constantly.

Li Hou's sturdy figure is speeding through the dense forest, and his agility is comparable to that of an ape.

"This is the highest mountain in the world, I want to go to the closest place to Mingyue to see!" Li Hou muttered to himself, kicked on the raised boulder, and his figure instantly burst out.

Squeak squeak......

A group of gray monkeys were alarmed, screamed and fled quickly towards the mountain.

"Hey, compare speed with you guys!" Li Hou watched those little monkeys leave, and suddenly his childlike heart rose, and he turned around and chased after him.

The sound of the leaves and grass making the monkeys in front of them flee faster.

However, Li Hou is really extraordinary, stretching out his hand and lifting his feet to quickly walk through the dense forest, his agility and speed are even better than those little monkeys.

Squeak squeak.

Soon, the group of little monkeys rushed into a cave that was almost collapsing, and Li Hou followed, his face just showed a smile, but the moment he saw the cave, his expression instantly froze.

A mottled cave covered with dark moss, several ancient trees stretching out horizontally on the rock wall at the entrance of the cave......

Rumble!

It was as if a thunderclap exploded in consciousness.

In the depths of Li Hou's mind, there seemed to be a window that had been slightly pushed open a gap, and something was over......

It's getting late.

Li Hou suddenly walked towards the cave, "Is there another small exit in there......?"

The cave was dim, and there was a strong smell of fish, as if this was the habitat of the little monkeys.

Li Hou narrowed his eyes slightly, and after going a few feet deeper, he suddenly moved a few steps sideways, there was another space, but the monkeys who had fled here before did not see a single figure at this moment, and he didn't know where to hide.

"Seems to be ...... ahead"

The depths of the cave were even darker, and Li Hou walked slowly, as if he was still reminiscing.

After a few moments, a bright light appeared.

Li Hou walked quickly, it was a narrow hole that only allowed one person to pass through, he gently rubbed the edge of the hole, and his strong and steady hands actually trembled a little.

Slowly bowed through the small hole, there was just a raised boulder outside, he jumped off the boulder lightly, and slowly walked dozens of feet to the left, and the hole he had entered before appeared in front of him again.

I've lived here for a long time......

I'm here for the first time......

I'm not the same person I used to be......

It seems that there is another me......

……

Li Hou seemed to have lost his mind, and involuntarily walked to the edge of the ancient tree at the entrance of the cave, raised his hand to grab it, and kicked it under his feet, he had already sat on the trunk of the tree extremely skillfully.

The night breeze blew, and the leaves were rustling.

The lonely figure, the dim night, a ray of moonlight moved lightly, slowly shining on Li Hou's body, under the tree, casting a shadow sitting cross-legged.

Li Hou slowly raised his head, with infinite questions in his eyes, why is this round of Jiaojie different from the past?

How familiar, yet like a long absence......

Gradually, there seemed to be a blurry picture that began to appear from the depths of consciousness.

The eyes gradually dimmed, weak gasps, looked up at the bright moon hanging high, climbed to the crooked neck tree every night in a daze, the bitter taste of grass juice, lifeless escape, bloody fangs, a drop of blood splashing, half of the bright red fruit......

Scenes of strange and familiar scenes flow by like a replay.

Am I a monkey? A grazing monkey?

Such a strange thought suddenly flashed in Li Hou's mind, he felt that he was going crazy, he hugged his head in pain, and his body fell from the tree crookedly, just falling between the tall grass.

The moonlight overflowed, like rippling water.

Yes!

Li Hou hugged his head and rolled, his mouth was full of those blades of grass at some point, and the bitter taste spread in his body.

In the depths of consciousness, there seems to be something else......

Flying bark, huge terrifying shadows, dark forests, strange beasts that have never been seen before, green grass and blue sky, endless plains of life......

I'm a strange beast......

I used to love grass......

After a long time, Li Hou gradually stopped his painful struggle, turned over his body with sweat, and in his tired eyes, a bright moon just appeared.

Where is that plain? I wanted to see it, and there was a yearning in his eyes.

The insects chirped, and the night in the mountains seemed very quiet.

In the deep night sky, a flash of light rushed from the sky.

"Wow, what a big flying star!" Li Hou was a little surprised when he saw this scene in his eyes.

"Huh?"

What surprised him even more was still to come, the meteor actually ......

Stopped in mid-air! There was a faint humming sound, and then it began to circle in circles.

"This flying star ......" Li Hou suddenly felt a little frightened, and always felt that the flying star was coming for him.

This inexplicable panic made his back swish, and he immediately crawled carefully into the cave, only exposing half of his head and staring into the air.

The little bit of brilliance in the night sky seemed to be getting more and more urgent, and it flew quickly around the mountain.

All night, Li Hou felt that his neck was about to turn into stones, and the light finally let out a roar, and seemed to leave with extreme anger.

"What the hell is that?" Li Hou collapsed on his back at the entrance of the cave, feeling even more tired than fighting with the beast for several days.

"It's not appropriate here, it's better to leave as soon as possible and find the Great Plains!" The birds chirped and the morning light first appeared, Li Hou recovered a little, and immediately made a decision.

……

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the not very tall mansion, a man of coarse cloth hurried in, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted excitedly.

"Boss, there's news!"

"Where is he?" As soon as the man's voice fell, an old man's surprised voice came from the house.

"A few years ago, someone saw him near Hangu Pass." The man rushed into the house, not taking a breath, and immediately spoke.

"Hangu Pass? How did he end there? An old man in Tsing Yi stood in the middle hall, his temples were already white, and he seemed to be very surprised to hear the news at this moment.

"I don't know this......" The man was embarrassed.

"In that case, I'll take a trip!" The old man in Tsing Yi raised his hand and handed out a bouquet of leather scrolls, "Three days after I leave, just present this thing to the king, and you can also help me inform you." ”

"Boss, you ......" the man seemed to be reluctant.

"Gang Dynasty is defeated, my heart has long been gone, I am just waiting for today's news, sooner or later there will be a ......day to leave," the old man in Tsing Yi shook his head.

Soon, the old man in Tsing Yi stepped on a miraculous green ox out of the mansion, but there were encounters along the way, all of them bowed respectfully.
